What's New:
New feature: trimmed ROM detection & matching
The marquee feature of this release is that Igir can now detect trimmed GBA, DS, and 3DS ROMs and match them against DATs that catalog their full-size/padded version. This feature will be most helpful for organizing your ROMs on flash carts for these handhelds. More information can be found in the new doc page.
Semi-breaking
Support for Node.js v16 has been dropped. The minimum version required has been bumped from >=16.13.2 to ^18.20.0 || ^20.11.0 || >=22.
This is to support several dependencies that have dropped support for Node.js versions that have reached end of life. You shouldn't be using Node.js v16 anyway, as it hasn't received a security patch since 2023. You shouldn't be using Node.js v18 either, but I try to keep support for older versions until it's necessary to bump.

What's New:
All
- Added ROM compression functionality.
- Support for the following new formats have been added: .zcia, .zcci, .z3dsx, .zcxi.
- ROMs can be compressed in Azahar using Tools --> Compress ROM File… on desktop.
- Fixed a memory leak in the AAC decoder.
- Fixed an issue where display refresh rates below ~60hz would cause emulation speed to be slower than intended when vsync was enabled.
- Different 3DS applications now have separate Vulkan pipeline caches.
- Previously, all Vulkan pipeline caches were stored in a single large file which was shared between all 3DS applications.
- Fixed LCD colour fill functionality.
- Before being fixed, this could cause applications which fill the screen with a certain colour to be black or display garbage.
- When using the OpenGL renderer, if a shader fails to link, the emulator will now experience graphical anomalies and produce logs rather than crashing.
- Fixed some dead links left over from Citra.
Android
- Implemented secondary screen support for wired and wireless displays (Chromecast, Miracast).
- By default, this functionality is disabled, and must be enabled by setting Settings --> Layout --> Secondary Display Screen Layout to an option other that System Default (mirror).
- Added button sliding behaviour configuration to the Overlay Options menu.
- Implemented play time tracking.
- Restructured touch input code to correctly handle multitouch inputs, resulting in improved multitouch support for the on-screen controller overlay.
MacOS
- Fixed an issue where the Artic Controller feature wouldn't work correctly on MacOS.
- Fixed an issue where, on recent MacOS versions, enabling the OS’s low power mode would result in many games being limited to 50% emulation speed when vsync was enabled.
- Added individual x86_64 and ARM64 binaries to releases alongside the existing universal download
Desktop
- Fixed horizontal centering being incorrect when using the single window or separate window layouts while fullscreened.
- When using a prerelease build, users are now directed to download the update from the Azahar GitHub releases page rather than the Azahar website.
- The Azahar website doesn't list prereleases, so this may have caused some confusion with users. This could have resulted in users unintentionally downgrading to the latest stable release.
- This doesn't affect stable releases such as this one, but it will affect all future prereleases.
Windows
- Minor adjustments to the Windows installer.
Technical
- Set correct stop flag in GSP.
- Fix irq request register behaviour.
- This change and the previous one were noted to not affect 3DS applications at all in theory, instead being more of a correctness thing.
- Fixed compilation failing when building using GCC 13 or earlier.
- Fixed a build error when using the USE_SYSTEM_GLSLANG CMake option.
- Added a new CMake option USE_SYSTEM_SPIRV_HEADERS.
- Removed use of deprecated boost class and moved to a functionally identical alternative.
- Upgraded Vulkan-related dependencies to match Vulkan SDK 14.313.0.
- The SDL frontend still doesn’t work properly, and remains disabled by default at compile time.
- Various minor changes to the Azahar installer on Windows.
- Amended CMakeLists to help certain environments to find required Qt dependencies.
- Upgraded Android Gradle Plugin to 8.11.1
